GEOSS Future Products Workshop - SIF Role

• Main workshop to be about model web and sensor web; SIF portion should connect with these
• 6 topics for 4 hours, balance between presentations and open discussion

• This session will look into areas of promise with respect to multidisciplinary interoperability and discovery of Earth observation resources. Linked data, unique identifiers, and resource casting will be discussed generally and with regards to Model Web and Sensor Web efforts. There will also be discussions of semantics as it applies to interoperability, brokering concepts, and examples of operational networks, such as Polar Data Network.

• Unique Identifiers: Joan Maso
• Brokering Concepts (polar data): Siri Jodha Singh Khalsa

• Sonntag: has some material and could talk on Linked Data
• if Bill does Linked Data, Steve could do Authentication & SSO (would not need to bring in Andreas)
